Avenues run what direction?
North and south
Streets run what direction?
East and west
Places are halfway between what?
Half block between a street or ave.
Courts are sometimes half way between what?
Usually but not always between a Place and either a street or ave.
Or they may be a quarter to three quarters from the next street or ave.
Tell me the way to tell if an place or court runs east/west like a street or north/south like an ave.
If running east/west like a street the place or court will have the compass heading before the name or number of the place or court.
So E Walnut Pl runs parallel to streets.
Also,
S Cedar Pl runs parallel to streets.
Both run east/west. The S is in reference to Cedar being south of some main or central street that might not be known.
Do blvd and roads have rules governing if they go east/west n/s?
No, they can wind and go whatever direction. And they can wind and change.
Places do have rules: either east/west or n/s depending on if it looks like

If the SW is before it runs parallel to street
If the SW is after it runs parallel to an ave.
